<p>I know it's best to turn in a scholarship before the deadline....</p>
<p>but when the scholarship says deadline April 30th...can I mail off my scholarship app on April 30th...lets say at 9am and still be considered eligible for the scholarship?</p>
<p>...or will they not receive it in time...</p>
<p>It depends on the scholarship. If it doesn't specify a postmark deadline, it could be either (must be recieved by April 30th or postmarked by April 30th). Most scholarships I've ever applied for are postmark deadlines, so you're probably fine. </p>
<p>By the way, if you're referring to the Harrington scholarship, I'm not exactly sure either. I mailed it off today, but I somehow doubt it will actually reach Iowa by Monday. It's not that long of an application though, so I'd go ahead and send it if I were you (assuming of course this is the Harrington you're talking about).</p>
<p>Th Harrington says applications received outside the timeframe will be discarded, but mathwizard is right, might still be worth a shot...if it is the Harrington.</p>
